VisKoors - April 2015

In this issue

Carp fishing is all about doing the basics right. You can have the best bait or fanciest equipment but if you are not doing the basics right you will come home empty handed. Our quick and easy guide to catching carp is not only for new carp fisherman but also for the experienced anglers.

If you see fish anywhere in the margins, try move slowly when approaching, keep very quiet and observe the area for a while when “stalking carp”.

Our main article this month features PVA Tactics to Catch Carp. PVA is one of the most under used fishing tools in everyday carp fishing. Most fishermen believe that PVA can only be used for specimen angling but PVA can be used by weekend warriors as well with great success.

Something that few people really think of is having “the right stuff for art lure angling”. In this article we feature the basic requirements to make look at your own well being, before you pick your rod.

Ons Afrikaanse artikels fokus onder andere op die regte toerusting vir kort- en lang-hengelsessies, die identifisering van jou hengelarea se bodem - hetsy dit klipperig, modderrig of sand is, en die lengte van hoekskakelstroppe.
Fanie Fourie se artikel oor kunsaashengel help lesers om dwergspesies makliker te vang en Philip Kemp het weer ‘n artikel oor die onvoorspelbare ou grootbek swartbaars.
Schalk van Breda werp meer lig op die invloed van elke persoon, selfs hengelaarse, se bepaalde bloedgroep op sy en haar energievlakke.

Our destinations for this month are Mofam River Lodge and Dullstroom’s best kept secret.
